You Could Have It So Much Better

Yeah I write fics too :)

If I would have to resume my life in a phrase it would be: "love me or leave me or rip me apart this is the voice that i was given and if you don't like it take a long walk" I believe that life is done of what you give and receive, my life always have had lot of changes; for example: nobody could believe that a girl from a little town of Ohio would end living in Las Vegas right? Well I got there because of fate and fame, I always love dancing and I dance all kind of stuff, that’s the reason I went to Las Vegas besides I wanted to run away from the place I belong…my father left my mother when I was 5 and we always had money problems, I decided I won't stand it up so I left when I ended high school and here I am as a dancer living the hard night life since 3 years ago. In this kind of works you always have some kind of situations not so normal with the men, they ask you for some kind of stuff later and it's not that bad at all you can say "no" without a problem and if you are nice they would help you, I live in a nice department with other 2 girls I work with, we got the money to buy it because their "friends" helped us with. People call me "black mamba" because they think I'm dangerous with my dancing style…in some way my nickname gave me fame and there were 2 guys I'll never forget who can relate to this, they taught me that life is always done of what you get and give and here's where the story starts…

A cold sunny day of autumn was ending in Las Vegas, 3 girls are arriving to their works in a night club, their names? Mandy (known as Ms Murders) Sue (known as Teenage Queen because she looks really young even if she is the biggest one) and Emily (known as Black Mamba) they work all night long starting their works at 9pm & ending 4am but they have to arrive a little early to get prepared…

-I'm really tired, I shouldn’t have gone with Mike yesterday…-says Sue while she was lighting a cigarette

-It's not your fault you haven’t seen each other in a while and be honest you enjoyed it-said Mandy a bit pissed-look at me I haven’t seen Ronnie in a while

-that’s the problem of dating a musician don't you think?-I said a bit bored of their discussion-you both got boyfriends so easy...I have to conform with the guys of the club

-it's not that hard-said Sue trying to cheer me up-look sometimes good looking guys arrive there maybe you…

-but I want something real like what you have! Not just one night stand with a hot guy!!!I wish somebody could arrive for me one day…

They arrived to the club and went to practice

*Already in the night*

The club was at its full that day, and of course that means a lot of work! I was about to give up that day (like if I could) so I asked some of the new girls if she could cover me just for half an hour so I could take a little nap and when she ended I got back. I went to the dressing rooms and when I opened the door I saw a guy outside in the window

-what the…-I said and walked outside to saw what's going on.

When I got  to the back and looked at him I got in a shock, a tall pale guy with green eyes and blonde hair looked at me with an anxious face, I never saw him before in the club and looked not so "cool" to be one of the girls boyfriend.

-Sorry if I disturb you-he said-but you know how can I get in? I don't look that good they can let me in, besides if they ask I don't have money to pay for anything here!

-so what are you looking for here? This is a night club

-I know but…you have waiters here right?

-ohh now I see, wait here a bit I'll look for Nathan so you can talk with him…

-But I don't want to disturb you…-he started to say

-It's ok I'm on my break now just wait here-and I went inside again

It took me a little while to look for Nathan, because he's always busy with the waiters or problems with drunken people, when I finally got him I told him about the guy outside waiting for him

-I don't have time tell him to come back tomorrow at 2pm-he said

I went back with the guy outside, the weather was cold and he was wearing only a jacket over his shirt

-God you are freezing! Come here-I told him and let him in

I took them to the dressing room I owned with Sue & Mandy and he sit in the sofa

-Thanks, I was freezing outside-he said and smiled

-it's ok, sometimes some girls or boys come here asking for a job and Nathan leave them outside even if its winter; but if you got the job he will always find the way you can stay comfortable, this is one of the most important night clubs in Las Vegas you know? But if you got the job he will also ask you for always be on the top of your energy and ability, so get used to it soon

-I don't mind I really want this work!-he said-I need a half time job to pay the rent of my department the other work doesn’t fill the bill

-Oh what you do?-I asked really interested

-well I work in a starbucks and its ok but I need to do something else besides I practice with my friends, we want to be famous

-wow that’s pretty nice I love starbucks and having a band? That simply rocks! What do you play?

-I play guitar but we don't have a vocalist and we are looking for one but we need money our gear needs to be fix a little…

In that moment Mandy entered in the room and put a weird expression and then I understand why, I was very close to the guy and holding his hands

-Hey boy-she said looking him with a mean expression -you are gonna have it bad if Nathan finds you here so you should go now, and if you are asking for a job come tomorrow

He looked shy so he stood up and put on his jacket again but still looking he was freezing

-Take this-I said giving him my whit scarf-you are going to die outside there-I told him as I smiled

He smiled also and took my scarf; his hands were so warm even they looked so cold…

-I never knew your name-he said me…

-Emily and yours?

-Oscar-he said and he left out of there

I thought I was alone so I was about to finally take my nap when someone hold my arm

-ah ah you are not going to sleep, what with that Oscar guy?

-I've just met him and he asked me for a favor!-I said a bit pissed because of her attitude

-well don't take that seriously he seems like a poor guy who really needs money…but I can't deny he was hot

-Damn he is-I said-well now you can leave so I can take my nap right?

Right down in that moment the girl I asked the favor came in

-I'm done m'am-said the girl a bit shy because of the presence of Mandy

-Ok, thanks I'm coming-I told her as I took out some money-and here you are-giving her the money

The girl got out of the room and we remained in an awkward silence for a moment

-Well I gotta get back to work-I told her while looking in the mirror-are you planning on getting out with some of the guys, or for once in your life plan on arrive early to the apartment?

-I don't know yet-she said-maybe but we shall see…

-As you want-I said and got out of the room

When I went out I found Nathan standing in front of me. I admire and really trust that man, owning his own club at the age of 23 and in just 3 years make it one of the most popular clubs around, besides he's kind of pretty with his blonde hair and bright blue eyes; he and his twin brother Matthew handle this place together and it was  going pretty well.

-Where the heck you were?-he asked very angry-a girl told me she was covering you

-well yeah I felt really tired so I decided to take a nap but didn't work so don't worry I'm back-I said with a calm voice

-better don't try to do this very often-he said-but just go and do your thing-he finished and went to the back side

*already in the morning*

Everything was very calm and I didn't know how I appeared in the apartment, just in my bed ALONE. I looked at the clock; it was 9:00am

-Awww man what the fuck happened here?-I said-I got a headache and its very early for me, I just had 4 hours sleeping…and seems they didn't arrive yesterday, oh well I suppose I'll sleep more peacefully…

*3 hours later*

-I DON'T GIVE A FUCKING DAMN IF YOU ARE SURE OR NOT ABOUT IT!!!!-Someone yelled in front of the door-BUT I WON'T LET YOU TO TAKE MORE SPACE THAT THE ONE YOU ALREADY HAVE!!!!

-WELL THEN I'LL DROP OUT MY THINGS FROM THE WINDOW SO NOW YOU CAN GET YOUR "SPACE" BUT YOU'LL HEAR ME I WONT TAKE OFF THESE THINGS FROM HERE I'LL DROP WHATEVER YOU LIKE BUT NOT THESE!!!-Another voice yelled in front of the door also-AND BY THE WAY YOU ARE NOT ANYONE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SPACE!YOU ALWAYS MESSED UP EMILY'S THINGS AND INVADE HER SPACE!!!!!

-BUT SHE HASN'T COMPLAINED YET, THE DAY SHE COMPLAINS ABOUT IT I'LL TAKE OFF MY FUCKING THINGS!!!!

-Could you please shut up?-I'm trying to sleep-I said appearing in the middle of the room just giving them a despiteful look-really I'm fucking tired so you just shut up or I'll drop the things of both away!-I yelled as I closed the door and got back to sleep again.

2 hours later I finally woke up; I heard some whisperings in the other side of the door and walked out. There were Mandy and Sue now sit in the big old pink sofa of the living room, both were holding a cigarette in each one hand.

-Hey you are finally awake-Said Sue looking at me with a resentful look-you didn't have to be that mean a couple of hours ago…

-Sorry-I said interrupting her monologue, she gave a fierce look but let me finish-I was tired to death and about your things…

-Oh yeah Mandy didn't told YOU well to be honest she had already told ME-she said looking at Mandy with a bit of hate?-she is planning on moving soon with Ronnie

-oh! Really? Well that's great! When you'll move?-I said trying to look cheerful about it, but I didn't care at all…

-the next month, he found a very nice apartment in the suburbs but first he have to fit the bill with the concerts he's giving with the band along the state-she said, her voice wasn't showing any emotion and in some way sounded bored and if she doesn’t want that-so I got better start to make up this mess and see how we'll move it later

-…mmm cool! Well then eh…I gotta go to the super market in a moment you want me to bring you something?

Both shacked their heads so I got as fast as I could to my room and closed the door

-God is getting harder to live with them-I muttered as I gave a look to my room and sighed looking all the things that were there.

It was a pretty room a bit small but fit for all the things I owned in that time. A bed in the corner with a little bedside table with an ashtray over it; in front of it a big dressing table with makeup nail polish and lingerie over it, next to it the closet with the bags and shoes spreading over the floor and a chair and a table in the other corner with the last night clothes over them. I was the only one with a window in the bedroom and I felt glad with it, because for some strange reason they never wanted a window in their rooms, it was a big window from where I almost have a look for the entire city, and more far the mountains and the desert…

I got out with the first jacket I found and walked out, when I was going downstairs I bumped with Ronnie in the entrance. I always had a problem with him but nobody noticed it; when everyone joined and there he was I always felt awkward because even he was talking with someone else he was always looking at me with curiosity and loads of interest neither there was Mandy or not, I never liked that and in some way he scared me, with his disturbing appearance, but one thing I can deny: he was so damn hot!. He was tall and not so pale with his skin covered with tattoos, he has a beautiful long black hair but his best feature was his big dark eyes that can penetrate to the deepest part of your soul and heart.

-Hey Emily what's up?-he said in a calm way but I wasn't calm at all for the way he was looking anything but me

-hi Ronnie! How you doin? Why you are here? Mandy said you still in tour across the state

-yes and this night we perform in Las Vegas so I decided to come and say hi-he said in a cheerful mood, like if he was enjoying that

-oh really? Nice where are you playing tonight?-said pretending to be interested but honestly I wanted to get the hell out of there!

-we play in The House Of Blues so if you want to come give me a call and I'll get you some tickets-he said giving a big smile like if he was happy that I "was interested"

-oh sorry I can't I'll be working late, its Saturday so people don't go so early tonight-I said trying to look I was pissed with the idea, for some strange reason I didn't want to get him upset, we were alone in the stairs of a 2^nd floor so I better trying to set a limit and act tactful

-Mmm too bad you can't come-he started to say-and where are you going?-he asked with great interest and started walking with me as I was going down

-I go to the super market better not come with me it will be hella boring and why someone as cool as you go there?!-I said in a calm way-and besides weren’t you coming to see Mandy? She is the apartment and Sue will go out in a while so you can have the entire apartment for you-I said smiling and wishing he changed the idea of coming with me and go with her.

He stood and started to think, he was still looking at me and in his face appeared an upset expression but then seemed like if he changed of mind

-well yeah it'll be boring going to the market…

Fine he was not coming with me

-…but I will wait you here until you arrive so I can help you with the bags-he said looking pleased with the idea

-you will wait here in the stairs?!-I didn't understand-were you not coming to see…

-Nah, she can wait-he said waving his hand with disinterest-and well it was not precisely Mandy the one I come to see-he said trying to get closer to me

For that time I got definitely fucking scared so I moved so quickly I nearly make him fall from the stairs

-sorry, I'd better get hurry so you can't wait so long here-I said and I get out almost running from there

When I was in the street everything seemed different from the scene a few ago was getting develop in the stairs of an apartment building, I started to walk and when I was walking I felt so in peace like if everything was a blurry memory.

When I got in the supermarket I took my time to look for all the things I needed, I didn't want to get so quickly to Ronnie's presence, I even looked for some clothes and watched a bit the TVs, when I was going back to the apartment I looked a starbucks in the other side of the street

-hey it has been a while since I buy one of those tasty green tea frappe-said cheerfully and started to walk toward it.

When I walked to the cash register I got completely shocked, in front of me there was a tall  so damn pale guy with green eyes and almost white-grayish hair…
